What methods do you lean towards?

[@simplehomeschoolideas]

Honestly…eclectic.

[@helloharrishomeschool9554]

Reggio Amelia is the teaching/learning style that appealed to me most when I went to college but I don’t hear about it in the homeschool world. I started pretty traditional, completely flip flopped to unschooling, and now I fall more into the charlotte mason camp in this season. I love how homeschool can look so different in different homes and seasons.

[@FamilyStyleLearning]

I love this comment! Such a good description of the phases many of us go through. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@sarasali3077]

I’m a relaxed/charlotte mason homeschool mama 😊

[@randomcat4052]

We did classical conversations for a while and we loved it. We did end up quitting once my oldest got into the second level (moving from the elementary level to like 4th grade) and he got too stressed out. It isn't for everyone. They go over the same thing (and I love the resources they use and we still use it just in a different way) for three years not expecting them to fully learn it but to gain more from it each year. My child stresses out if he doesn't master something before moving on so it didn't work for him as they moved on before he was ready.

[@FamilyStyleLearning]

Thanks for that review. It's good to see how different families experience things.

[@simplehomeschoolideas]

Thank you for this rich information! I knew about most of the methods but to hear them back to back is very helpful.

[@FamilyStyleLearning]

I'm so glad it's helpful. I really enjoy learning these kinda things.

[@bethanypeterson-wu1mh]

I like the classical style and educational model, my first year of homeschooling I chose all my curriculum from recommendations in The Well-Trained Mind. But I’m also a relaxed type-B homeschooler. So it’s an interesting combination. 😂 Maybe it’s a good thing and keeps things less intense for my kiddos. We’ve never tried CC, though. Definitely love bringing in ALL the books too! Thanks for the video! Really enjoyed it.

[@FamilyStyleLearning]

Have you followed @humilityanddoxology ? Amy is an amazing relaxed classical influence!

[@CM-ei7sh]

Thank you!!! So much in such little time.

[@FamilyStyleLearning]

I'm glad you liked it. It took a lot of work to get it that short but I know we're all busy mom's who need information fast. That's my goal, to help mom gain confidence and encouragement in a short amount of time.

[@cypresshollowhomeschool4319]

The simplest answer I could give is to say we're eclectic homeschoolers. But the deeper answer is we do what works for parents and students, the season of life, interests, time constraints, etc. When my kids were young, I leaned heavily on Montessori-style activities. We love the living books of Charlotte Mason, the main lesson books of Waldorf, and the lapbooks and notebooks created with unit studies. For math, we usually approach a traditional style with enrichment and "math tables" based on interests.

[@FamilyStyleLearning]

I think that's great!

[@bethanybishop2840]

About to embark on homeschooling, this was sooo helpful in getting me started. Thank you

[@FamilyStyleLearning]

I have a whole playlist for getting started. I hope you find it helpful too. Let me know if I can help in any way. I'm passionate about helping families build a firm foundation for their homeschool journey.

[@homeschoolingthroughhighschool]

I enjoyed this video. I find myself to be a classical, traditional & eclectic homeschooler. 🌻

[@FamilyStyleLearning]

Thank you! Have you homeschooled from the start?

[@emmareads734]

[@FamilyStyleLearning]

Thanks for watching!

[@LifeintheMundane]

This is such a great video

[@FamilyStyleLearning]

Thanks Katie. I appreciate that!

[@laurenmcranmer]

Great video title 👌 thanks for the info

[@FamilyStyleLearning]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for commenting.

[@allyrenee9971]

I really cannot decide what method i am most interested in so i guess we will end up doing eclectic

[@FamilyStyleLearning]

Haha, that's totally fine. There is value in learning different philosophies of education but there is also harm if someone feels boxes in. Eclectic is a great place to land.
